I found dhcpserver event 1056 in System event logs:


The DHCP service has detected that it is running on a DC and has no credentials
configured for use with Dynamic DNS registrations initiated by the DHCP
service. This is not a recommended security configuration. Credentials
for Dynamic DNS registrations may be configured using the command line "netsh
dhcp server set dnscredentials" or via the DHCP Administrative tool.

What are the correct credentials to use here? I don't want to use Administrator
due to password changes. Any suggestions on best practices?

Thanks!

Michae
